  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

  • Our Ask Time for a Plan
    Our ask We are seeking a strategy for the Princes Highway West between Colac and the South Australian border that clearly identifies the improvements and upgrades the highway will require. It is anticipated the corridor strategy would include: • Investigation into feasibility of the 2 + 1 model • Duplication of the Princes Highway between • Investigation into the feasibility of more overtaking lanes Warrnambool and Port Fairy • Investigation into the feasibility of duplication of the • Additional, improved and more regular passing highway between Colac and the border opportunities between Colac and the border. These would need to be longer lanes providing safer passing Funding to implement the recommendations of a strategy opportunities for both east and west-bound traffic for the Princes Highway West will also be required. Time for a plan The fertile Great South Coast region of Victoria produces a third of Victoria’s beef, a third of its dairy, a third of its lamb and one quarter of its wool. The vast majority of this produce - worth more than south-western Victoria, providing a strategic transport link $1.8 billion - is bound for markets further afield, mostly between Melbourne and the South Australian border, and international. beyond to Adelaide. A key to the ongoing prosperity of the Great South Coast The highway conveys grain, livestock, dairy, timber and is an effective transport network. Central to this network is smelter products. the Princes Highway. The Princes Highway West is the key east-west route in It also conveys people in growing number. Time for a plan The growth in traffic While traffic on the highway has grown in volume in More than a decade ago VicRoads reported the crash rate recent years, the highway infrastructure west of Colac has was greater than the state average in the winding sections 2016 vehicles per day (VPD) counts show that stretches of highways in and around Warrnambool are among received only minor upgrades.
